Our solutions
Our solutions combine advanced engineering and proven technology to deliver efficient, reliable, and scalable hydrogen production systems for every industrial need.
HIFI™ Technology:
Performance by Design
Industrial hydrogen production requires electrolyzer technology that stays stable under pressure, delivers consistent performance at scale and offers long-term value. Exion Hydrogen’s HIFI™ (Hydrogen Integrated Flow Improvement) technology is designed for those needs.
HIFI™ optimizes the electrolyzer cell stack by reshaping how water and gas flow through the system. This ensures uniform distribution, balanced temperatures and reliable electrochemical performance, even during heavy industrial operation. The result is higher efficiency, longer stack lifetime and improved system reliability.
Developed through advanced modelling, CFD simulation and rigorous validation, HIFI™ brings new stability to pressurized electrolysis. It is implemented in the HyGGe™ 500P PEM electrolyzer and engineered for future alkaline systems, forming the backbone of Exion Hydrogen’s next-generation stack architecture.
With more homogeneous flow, better thermal management and enhanced durability, HIFI™ sets a new benchmark for scalable hydrogen production—ready for today’s industry and tomorrow’s needs.

Information for industrial gas suppliers
We understand that every situation is unique, and that operating advanced equipment such as the HyGGe™ 100A or HyGGe™ 500P requires a high level of attention and expertise from the end user. While we have the skills and tools to support our customers, our resource availability is limited, particularly when our electrolyzers are deployed on remote locations. From the moment of reaching an agreement to the very distant future of decommissioning the equipment, we value long-term partnerships with companies who can help us serve our customers. Do you have a strong and reliable technical team that wants to participate in one or more steps of our product and service development roadmap? We eagerly anticipate discussing the potential for a sustainable and ongoing business partnership with you.
Quick FAQ'S
How is Hydrogen produced?
Natural hydrogen (also known as ‘white’ hydrogen) can be found worldwide, yet it is not easily extracted. Fortunately, hydrogen is also widely available in compound forms. For instance, water (H2O), fossil fuels, and natural oils all contain hydrogen. This hydrogen can be extracted by breaking the molecular bonds and isolating the H2 molecules as a result. Unfortunately, this process often leads to the formation of polluting molecules such as NOx, CO, and CO2.
At present, most hydrogen is obtained by ‘cracking’ methane (CH4) through Steam Methane Reforming. While this process isolates the H2 molecule, it also causes the carbon to combine with oxygen, resulting in approximately 8 to 10 kg of CO2 for every kilogram of hydrogen produced. This has a significant environmental impact.
Fortunately, hydrogen production through water electrolysis (as achieved with our HyGGeTM water electrolyzers) does not have such a negative effect on the environment. In fact, if our HyGGeTM units are powered by renewable energy sources like solar or wind energy, the electrolysis process generates ‘green’ hydrogen – the most environmentally friendly form of H2, second only to natural or white hydrogen.
Does hydrogen come in different colors?
Hydrogen is colorless, but color coding is used to indicate the environmental impact of different hydrogen production methods. The following terminology refers to hydrogen production, arranged from the least environmentally impactful to the most:
- White Hydrogen: H2 from Earth’s internals. This is very challenging to harvest.
- Green Hydrogen: H2 from water electrolysis using renewable energy (wind, solar…) without any CO2 emissions.
- Pink Hydrogen: Electrolytic hydrogen produced with nuclear power.
- Turquoise Hydrogen: Hydrogen produced by thermal methane splitting (methane pyrolysis) with solid carbon as a by-product. It is very challenging to keep the production process at 1000°C.
- Blue Hydrogen: Hydrogen produced from fossil fuels, where the CO2 is captured and stored, or used in a different process (i.e., not released in the atmosphere).
- Brown Hydrogen: Hydrogen produced as a by-product of industrial processes.
- Grey Hydrogen: Hydrogen extracted from Natural Gas (CH4) using Steam-Methane Reforming (SMR). Most H2 gas is produced this way, with lots of CO2 as a by-product.
- Yellow Hydrogen: Electrolytic H2 from Grid energy, regardless of the energy mix.
- Black Hydrogen: Hydrogen from Coal Gasification. This produces lots of CO2.
Which is better? Pressurized or non-pressurized water electrolyzers?
Depending on your use of hydrogen, having it available at a specific pressure can be interesting. For processes operating at 3 bar, a 5 bar system might suffice if the electrolyzer meets demand consistently. Atmospheric electrolyzers always require an additional compression system, incurring an OpEx in addition to a CapEx. If you need hydrogen at higher pressure, e.g., in mobility applications, you will have to compress the gas.
A compressor is a ‘multiplier’ of the pressure. Typically, a compressor compresses up to 6 times the input pressure in a single stage. For instance, 10 bar input can yield 360 bar output of a 2-stage compressor. Starting at 30 bar input, you can reach 1000bar at the output after 2 stages (mobility), or 180bar after only 1 stage, which could be enough to fill bottles/racks.
What makes Exion’s HyGGe™ 100A water electrolyzer unique and valuable?

How do you calculate the business case for on-site hydrogen production?
Several factors determine the viability of on-site hydrogen production for your business:
- Electricity costs
In on-site water electrolysis for hydrogen production, your energy consumption will be your primary operational expenditure, significantly affecting the total cost of ownership.
- Required volume
Do you need large quantities of hydrogen, or do you seek to use abundant renewable energy (green electricity) for hydrogen production and subsequent storage as an energy source? This affects the required number of water electrolyzers to operate simultaneously.
- On-site storage availability
Do you have sufficient pipeline networks, silos, or other storage solutions to store all the hydrogen you will generate?
- Downtime cost
How much will it cost when your business halts due to hydrogen shortages? In other words, how valuable is it to achieve independence from external hydrogen suppliers, enabling your business to operate 24/7 through self-produced hydrogen?
- Comparison with other hydrogen sources
How does the above align with costs tied to alternative hydrogen sources, accounting for factors like geographic proximity to supply centers and supplier accessibility to your production sites?
